Quatro! By Kay Wyne

Quatro!

36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Painting

This is a fun and loose painting...when I started out, I had an idea in my mind of what I wanted the four images to be. The first thing I did was put out some neutral colors for the background. I usually use bright, bold colors so I had to keep telling myself that something neutral would make the roosters pop off the canvas. I used some ink to produce some lettering. I had five shades of grey ink that I used. Then I started with some lines and geometric shapes. Then the fun part.....I started with a wide brush and put in an outline on each rooster....I was afraid that I would over-paint this, so I forced myself to put the brushes down and go home. The next day I used a liner to suggest the details of each rooster...and I did not want each one to be the same....so, here you go. Quatro! Contact Kay for purchasing information. Thanks, Kay
